Re: Writing to a file

Nothing is ever simple.

here's the code that I am using to create a file and write some stuff to
it. "docHeader" and the rest are defined elsewhere as Strings and I'll
remove the quotes - right now I'd be happy to write ANYTHING to the file.

You'll want to fw.close() or fw.flush() the file. Otherwise the output will be buffered until the object is finalized (most output stream objects close themselves on finalization -- since you obviously forgot). But since your application probably just terminates immediately, it's most likely that none of your objects are ever finalized, and thus your file is never closed.

You might also want to dump the exception or the stack trace in your catch clause, otherwise you really have no idea what happened.
